So what's up with the home page?

The CharMeck.org home page consists of 3 major sections.

1. Header
2. Content Area
3. Footer

 

1. Header

The header section contains the (a) top-level menu, (b) header graphic and (c) web site tools.

a. Top-Level Menu
The top-level menu is located on every page throughout the site. It may appear with different design treatments. This menu contains links to the top-level pages and the search "box". The CharMeck.org image links to the home page. The very first image on every page is a hidden 1 x 1 pixel image for the "Text-Only" version of the site. This allows browsers with special needs to access the site in text-only format quicker.

b. Header Graphic
The header graphic is located on every page. It may have various design treatments.

c. Web Site Tools
This tool bar is located on every page. (Currently, not located on Department pages but will be adding soon.)

This menu contains links to:

  • View Text Only - links to the text-only version of the web site.
  • Site Help
  • 311 Web Requests - go directly to 311 for a service request such as bulky item pickup. 311 is the City/County call center to handle citizen requests for City and County services.
  • Notify Me - our email notification service is an automated way to get the latest news and information is updated. For example, if you are located in a section where rezoning is taking place, subscribe to be notified of the latest information regarding the specific rezoning petition.
  • Maps/GIS Locator - the County Maps and GIS information services.
  • Event Calendar - master City/County Calendar of Events.
